Yes Darren thinks the same. I opine that he's convinced it's a close relative of the self cleaning oven. -

It most certainly is a shame for Brisbane!☹️ Autumn in the Caribbean is not too bad either, if you are prepared to risk the odd hurricane. And the prices are usually pretty good. -

We haven't bothered much with duty free on our cruises, though I was aware that Port Vila duty free shops are pretty competitive. (Vila is halfway through the cruise, so a visit to Fung Kuei would be well timed). I was under the impression that if you bought duty free on land you were required to hand it over when re-boarding the ship and it was returned to you prior to disembarkation in Australia. Does this not apply to a carton of cigarettes? We've done quite a few cruises, but are not big duty free purchasers so I guess I'm a bit gormless with the regulations and it's at least 6 years since the last South Pacific cruise. -

Yes, that's why we don't bother to buy a carton. 😒 Possibly the rules are different in WA and Qld, as you say. I'll be interested to see what the go is when we do the South Pacific at Christmas. -

Now I'm really getting confused............. We paid around $30 to $40 (or whatever the price is at 'home') for a pack of 25 over the bar when we cruised up the Qld Coast (with P&O) last June and the only 'foreign' port was Willis Island. We bought them prior to getting to the Willis sail by. That's what prompted my query about how far off the Australian Coast you have to be for the $15 price tag to kick in. -
Any one doing any Winter Cruises?
ceeceeDee replied to Kiwi_cruiser's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Thanks for the update, Mic. I can well imagine how inconvenient the boot is particularly for another couple of months!!! Hang in there cruising awaits you at the end. -

How far out to sea do you have to be for that price to kick in? -
Or, make like a shepherd and flock off 😆

It's definitely worth asking your cabin steward. In my experience they do their best to accommodate requests wherever possible. They may have a spare dining style chair which is what is used at the desk in the mini suites. As the old adage says 'If you don't ask, you don't get'. -

It may be a 'glitch'. If so I hope it is rectified soon. Doesn't make it any less annoying. Gotta love technology (not)! -
Drinks Prices 2024 Pacific Explorer
ceeceeDee replied to Nuttyscouse's topic in P&O Cruises ( Australia )
Thank you. Most people on the CC forum try to be as helpful as possible. We all love cruising and sharing information is what it's all about. Having some idea of what you need to budget for drinks, etc. saves getting any nasty surprises. 🙂 Please post your thoughts on your cruise when you return. It's always interesting to get people's opinions. In the meantime Bon Voyage! -

Well, that only leaves you the option of sitting on the beds. Not ideal.☹️ BTW, if the coffee table looks like this, maybe it's a stool? -

Drinks Prices 2024 Pacific Explorer
ceeceeDee replied to Nuttyscouse's topic in P&O Cruises ( Australia )
Here is a portion of the cocktail menu. The prices look about the same as 12 months ago, so maybe the new prices haven't kicked in on the current cruise. However, if you allow maybe an extra $2 per drink you shouldn't be too far off the mark. At least you will have some idea. -

Any one doing any Winter Cruises?
ceeceeDee replied to Kiwi_cruiser's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
No winter getaways this year, but we thoroughly enjoyed the Great Barrier Reef cruise last June. Right now, we're holding out for our Christmas cruise to the South Pacific. Have had it booked for nearly 12 months so far and it still seems a long way away.😒 Unfortunately work commitments preclude us from doing even a short cruise before then. -

YES!!!!!!!!! That Norwegian pop up is driving me INSANE!!!!!! It's enough to put you off booking NCL in protest!😠 I don't mind if a pop up comes up once, but this constant repetition is getting ridiculous! My browser is Firefox -
Drinks Prices 2024 Pacific Explorer
ceeceeDee replied to Nuttyscouse's topic in P&O Cruises ( Australia )
Hi, just found this from someone currently on Pacific Explorer, so I believe these will be the new prices. It's a beer price list in the Main Dining Room which I thought you may find of interest. -
